Product summary
As the central controller for the ComPoint
™
system,
the ISH1 Hub performs all communications routing.
It addresses the keypads and door stations accord-
ing to the ports they’re connected to.
The hub has ports for 6 zone keypads. Up to 6
ISH1 Hubs can be linked together for a maximum of
36 zones. With multiple hubs, each hub must be
assigned a unique ID number during installation.
The hub also has ports for 2 door stations. In a
system with multiple linked hubs, only the hub with
ID number 1 supports the door stations.
A separate doorbell chime tone can be selected on
hub 1 for each door. These chime selections take
effect for the entire system and play through all the
zone keypads.
The hub’s firmware contains lists of zone and door
labels for display on the ISK2 Advanced Keypads.
These labels are assigned by the installer using a
connected ISK2 keypad. (See the ComPoint system
manual for instructions on assigning labels.)
Designed for surface mounting or installation in a
structured wiring panel, the ISH1 Hub uses an exter-
nal model ISPS power supply to conserve chassis
space. It should be located near an electrical outlet.
The hub includes a port for updating its firmware
from a computer.
Wiring and connections
The ISH1 Hub connects to the keypads and door
stations with CAT-5 cable. The length limit for the
CAT-5 cable is 250 feet (76 m).
Run CAT-5 from the hub location to every keypad
and door station location. If you are installing
optional ISDR1 modules, loop the door station
cables through the module locations.
When running CAT-5 and speaker cables, avoid AC
power wiring. If you have to run the cables parallel
to electrical wiring, space the cables at least two
feet (0.6 m) from the AC power lines.
The hub has 8-pole modular jacks for keypad and
door station connections. These connections must
be made according to the T568A standard as
shown in the diagram below.
The hub also uses modular jacks for the link ports.
Use a short 8-pole, 4-twisted-pair straight-through
RJ-45 patch cable to link hubs together.

Programming
All system programming resides in the ISH1 Hub.
For a six-zone system with ISK1 Basic Keypads,
programming consists only of setting the doorbell
chimes. For a system with ISK2 Advanced Keypads,
programming includes assigning zone and door sta-
tion labels. For a system with more than six zones,
programming includes setting hub ID numbers.
When multiple hubs are used, the zone and door
label settings are initially stored in the hub to which
the keypad is connected. Upon exiting the program-
ming procedure, the settings are copied to the
other hubs.
Hub 1 serves as the master hub for storing all zone
and door label settings. Whenever the system
power is cycled, the settings are copied from hub 1
to the other hubs.
Hub ID numbers
In a system with multiple ISH1 Hubs, each hub must
have a unique ID number. This is manually assigned
on the 4-switch HUB ID DIP before the system is
powered up. To assign the ID number, set switches
1 through 3 as shown in table 1.
Switch 4 enables a programming mode for updating
the system firmware. Leave this switch in the up
position for system operation.
Doorbell chimes
A single 8-switch DIP assigns doorbell chimes for
both door stations. Switches 1 through 3 select the
chime for door 1 and switches 5 through 7 select
the chime for door 2. There are 7 chime options,
with a setting for no chime when a separate door-
bell system is used. To select the chimes, set the
switches as shown in table 2.
Switch 4 selects how the chime volume level is
managed. Setting the switch to 1 (up) sets the
chime volume level to a fixed level at 50% of the
maximum keypad output in all zones. This causes
the chime to play at the same level in all zones.
Setting the switch to 0 (down) allows the chime vol-
ume to be determined by the keypad volume level
setting in each zone independently.

Switch 8 is currently not used.
The ISH1 Hub also has a trim potentiometer for set-
ting the overall volume of the doorbell chime
throughout the system. This can be used to adjust
the chime level relative to the communication level.
Note:
In a system with multiple linked hubs, only the
settings on hub 1 affect the doorbell chime assign-
ments and volume level, since the door stations
connect only to hub 1. Because the settings take
effect immediately, the doorbell chimes can be set
at any time. There is no need to cycle the power
after setting them.
